Woman swimming in the beach

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is it permissible for a female to swim in the beach? I keep on my scarf and abaya and make sure there is no people around.

Bismillaah

A: It is illogical to say that there is nobody around the beach. You cannot restrict the movement of people. So how can a Muslim woman think of doing something through which her pardah etc. will be invaded.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
